Chapter 4443
Cumulonimbus laughed. He raised his glass and took a sip. He said," Master Diego, you are dashing and
generous too! The Sword Sect would truly prosper in your hands in the future.”
"Thank you, Sect Master Swae, but you're the hero of our generation in the entire Nine Mainland!"
They were both praising each other and toasting each other. It was a lively time.
Soon, they had a few rounds of alcohol. Diego had drunk quite a lot of alcohol. His face was flushed red.
However, he was still sober. He remembered the intention of his visit. He said, "Sect Master Swae, I have a favor
to ask you, and I hope you can help me with it."
Sienna also put her glass down. She looked at Cumulonimbus with hope.
"What is it? Tell me." Cumulonimbus chuckled and nodded.
Diego took a deep breath. He looked somewhat guilty. "I'm embarrassed to say this, but a huge incident
happened at the Sword Sect a few days ago. Our Deputy Sect Master, Khloris, betrayed US. She secretly took her
disciple. Olive, and escaped. We have failed to bring her in."

but we have searched around for two days without any clue. I hope that you can help US
ask around. After all, we're in the New World. The Thunder Fire Gate is more familiar with
this place."
What?
Cumulonimbus was stunned for quite a while before coming to his senses.
Khloris had betrayed the Sword Sect?
That was somewhat surprising to hear.
Even though Cumulonimbus had never been to the Sword Sect, as the Thunder Gate Fire's
Sect Master, he was well-informed about the world of cultivators. He knew quite a lot
about the Sword Sect too. He knew that Khloris, the Deputy Sect Master of the Sword Sect,
was a gorgeous woman and a powerful woman. She was loyal to the Sword Sect. Also, she
was aloof by nature. She practiced cultivation in seclusion all year round at the Sword
Sect's altar. She rarely left the mountain.
He could not believe that a woman like that would betray the Sword Sect.
Cumulonimbus looked at Diego in confusion. He asked, "Is there a misunderstanding?
From what I know, Khloris once rescued your master's life. Her loyalty to the Sword Sect
should not have wavered. How could she betray you?"
Diego sighed and said in a complicated tone, "That is a long story."
At that moment, Sienna, who had been silent all that while, chimed in," Diego, since Sect
Master Swae is your friend, you can be honest with him."
Then, Sienna said, "Sect Master Swae, you don't know about this. Khloris might seem
innocent and serious, but she is a loose woman. She got her disciple, Olive, to put on an
act. They brought a wild barbarian up the hill. The barbaric man was very sly. Initially, he
pretended to have gotten hurt, but he was just putting on an act so that he could steal our
sword techniques." 1
'Is that what happened?' Cumulonimbus was stunned when he heard what Sienna said.

Sienna was not done. She got more invigorated the more she said. She continued to say, "Not only that, but
Khloris had always been the Deputy Sect Master. She had been vying for the Sect Master position. She thought of
usurping my master’s position, so she joined that barbaric man.
However, when they were secretly meeting in the Sword Sect, my master caught them red-handed.
"Her evil doings were exposed. Naturally, Khloris, that b*tch, could no longer stay there. So she took her disciple
and fled in the middle of the night."
Sienna's seductive face could not hide her contempt when she said that. Sienna adored Diego. She had given
him her all, yet Diego secretly had a crush on Khloris. Sienna was heartbroken about that, so she deliberately
came up with stories to slander Khloris.
"Sienna!" Diego could no longer take Sienna's slander. He gently touched Sienna under the table.
Khloris was the woman of his dreams, yet Sienna painted such a bad picture of her.
Sienna was indignant. She said unhappily, "Am I wrong? That night, that barbaric man appeared in Khloris' room.
They were in a state of undress. Many of US saw it. Even Master saw it. I'm not slandering her." 1
The more Diego tried to protect Khloris, the more indignant Sienna felt.
